GAME CHANGERS
Andy Carroll and Theo Walcott will not like being called impact subs and they will feel hard done by if they are left out but both can turn this game from the bench.
Modern football demands players who can change a game and England seem to have that.
This will not be an easy game and England might need to shake it up. They must not play for a draw or there could be big trouble ahead.
